Wireless issue - not connecting after reboot

ieldib · 2015-09-28 18:47:56

Hi All,

So I am not sure what went wrong, but my wifi connectivity was working via networkmanager. Shutdown my laptop, start it back up the next day @ work and no wireless.

Here is an lspci of my wireless card:

lspci | grep -i net 
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)

Here is the pastebin of my log output (when I try and connect via networkmanager.

PS I posted in the laptop section, however I think it's more relevant to the networking section.
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem today. The Plasma NetworkManager applet wasn't able to connect to any networks.

It seems that the latest kernel update (4.2.1) has something to do, so a workaround was downgrading the kernel.

Thanks for the feedback, If that really is the issue... I think i'll stick around till the next update.

Me too with driver ath9k and kernel 4.2.1
Downgraded to 4.1.8 solved the problem.

Anyone knows how to fix this problem in the kernel 4.2.1 ?

ieldib · 2015-10-01 15:25:55

Do you have any advice on howto cleanly downgrade ? Also I assume the problem will be fixed with 4.2.2 (which is already out on kernel.org and just a matter of time before we get it I am sure).

I installed package linux-lts ( pacman -S linux-lts ), since then I've could select the kernel version at grub menu.
You could use the latest kernel whenever you want.

Earlier this week I upgraded the kernel to 4.2.1. I noticed my WiFi-speeds were slow, but thought nothing of it (just happens sometimes, maybe someone is downloading a torrent or whatever). However the problems persisted in the following days. Today I realized the slow WiFi speeds happened the same day I upgraded the kernel, so I tried the LTS (4.1.8) kernel to see if the kernel upgrade caused the problems. To my surprise it did!

So my problems are not exactly the same, since my connection is stable just very slow. It does seem related though. I am using an AR928X chip. It must be a regression in ath9k, and for me the issues have not been fixed with 4.2.2 unfortunately

ieldib · 2015-10-01 18:53:23

Reverting to an LTS kernel did nothing for me in this scenario . Any other suggestions ?

ieldib · 2015-10-01 19:52:18

My issue appears to be related to wpa_supplicant to some effect: NetworkManager[571]: <warn> Failed to GDBus.Error:fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.NotConnected: This interface is not connected: disconnect (interface is up, network manager can scan and see networks, wpa_supplicant authentication keeps on failing ).

have a look at this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=201165

BTW, the linux package has been up to 4.2.2-1 --> still make my wifi not work

EDIT - I forgot to reboot after kernel update. Wifi is working now.
